  • Elfen Lied is like a beautiful sad violent version of Chobits. Those who have watched both series will know what I mean. Its a great show, just very angsty and very sad.

  • Elfen lied is definitely not hentai but it is ecchi and the nudity is still clearly made for the pleasure of viewers, remember that. of course, that is not its ONLY purpose and certainly doesn't detract from its uniqueness as an anime, but I don't think it's entirely "pure" or "innocent" as people seem to think, it's more like very emotional fanservice (or fan-disservice). Whether that's a weakness or a strength is up to each viewer.

  • Hentai < Elfen Lied :D

  • to go along with my comment, if you STILL keep thinking this is a hentai even after what me and SO MANY PEOPLE have said and you don't like hentai (which I am praying that you don't like since hentai and porn is so friggin sickning), THEN DON'T WATCH THIS DAMN!!! I mean, if this was a hentai, I would have NEVER even put an eye on this after that first episode!!!

  • For those of you who still think this is a hentai.... ITS NOT!!!! Hentai is a type of porn for those who are sick minded and like to look at that shit! Elfen lied is NOWHERE near that!! Elfen Lied is a beautiful anime that has a great story line and can make you cry! I've seen this and I'm 14. Actually, I accidently saw the first episode when I was 11 and finished the anime!!! And I was mature enough to ignore the nudity and and enjoy the story line!! So grow up!

  • This is sooooo not hentai, I just finished watching Elfen Lied, I must say, I don't like gorey horror stuff, but I really like the anime! It's so touching and I cried so much Dx

  • I have watched this and I am 13. I understand how Lucy feels. If you think this is Hentai or watch it for the nudity you have serious problems.

    Love the music btw ;)

  • Also, was I the only one that thought this anime ending like the Sopranos.

  • The ending of this Anime will always suck because this show was finished before the manga was done. The show fails to go into depth in explaining many things the manga does. But the beginning was bad-ass.

  • Hi:) I am amateur musician from finland. Spare a second and give me honest opinion? Thank you.

  • Gotta say makes you feel like your in a dark castle. Just walking around in sadness and sarrow. Man I would love to do that just walking around a dark castle with this echoing in the halls. Just wouldnt know what to feel. Its just amazing.

  • best version on the net

  • just enjoy the music already :)

  • I don't know about everyone else but i would rather them leave the anime at season one because they made it a possibilty for lucy surviving and leave the rest to your imagination.

  • @CEH147 Yeah Because what else could happen? Kouta has to pick who he wants to date? Or Lucy has to kill more people. Not much can happen now. I agree completely. 

  • Oh man, this anime was a total downer. Nothing redeeming about it at all. No hope, yes despair. Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach....

    That being said, I still think people should watch it. And the music is loverly. ^_^

  • such a sad ending, love this anime

  • Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for it for a long time.

  • hey is it ok if i can use this music for a menu preview im working on?

  • @animefanEm Better not if it's for comercial or publical use. The song has copyright. You know, the uploader doesn't own anything from the song.

  • @AyinLamy im not using for comercial or public abuse. im asking for a DVD menu im working on. its not for public abuse its for a menu thing and im making something for a friend of mine and im making a dvd for her. and i know the uploader dosent own the song and neither do i.

  • @animefanEm sorry i ment public use >.<'''

  • what's hentai? everyone seems to be comparing this to hentai :/

  • @vampire9753 Hentai is anima porn but Elfen Lied is nothing like that, their is alot of nude in the show but thats it.

  • @lifeistheretobethere actually hentai means pervert and japanese people are laughing at americans incorrectly using the japanese word, pervert, to describe pornography.

  • @vampire9753 Think a really, really kinky fetish magazine, or even just a Playboy, turned into an anime or manga.

  • @vampire9753

    anime porn.

  • Everything in this song

    Lies something great!

    From the beginning it was

    Extremely nice and and simple that is

    Nothing from the other anime!

    Like Naruto (sorry for the fans of it)

    It only has battle OSTs and don't have time for

    Emotional OSTs that can touch your soul.

    Don't you agree that this is the best Anime? (This time, read vertically)

  • @TheVariaFan339 thats cool

  • @TheVariaFan339 I'm sorry, Naruto has a lot of beautiful and emotional ost's? Watch through them.. The songs like sadness and sorrow are beautiful.

    But I agree, Elfen lied is really one of the best animes..

  • Comment removed

  • =D beautiful

  • I admit I tought this was japanese at first.. but actually I knew japanese sounds very diffirent.. but because this is an anime I tought it must be japanese.. I think most of the people who didn't know this is latin where thinking the same thing as me.. But after listening a few times I knew it wasn't japanese xD

  • If you just began watching the anime or just saw some trailers/parts of the anime then you probably think this is sick/gross.. But if you would only take the time to watch the whole anime, you would understand why most people like it. It's fucking beautifull!

  • People! Will you all shut up about the nudity? If you don't like it, don't fucking watch it. Simple as that. It's not even that bad! Besides, is it being shown in a sexual way? No! It's not. Man, is it really that disturbing to see a human in their natural state?

  • 8 persons don't have ears

  • @XxNekoxNyaxX Ama-chan?

    ...

    kawaii :D

  • sign a petition in ipetitions for elfen lied season 2. go to the ipetitions, and search for elfenliedseason2. then you will find the page where you can sign a petion

    . there are now over 9000 petitions, so please, sign a petition to raise that number. maybe in a year or few, our hopes will come true and there will be season 2 of elfen lied.. so it is very important that you sign!!!!

  • @xomfor they won't make a season 2 because there is no plot for it(unfortunately). what i mean is that, in the manga(which, obviously, is what the anime is based on) Nyu/lucy dies-end of story. in the anime, it almost seems as if she survived. however, the author of Elfen Lied is done with the story, and without her a second season isn't possible(which sucks).

  • I'm pretty sick of people saying this is Hentai. I've watched Hentai, Hentai is NOTHING like Elfen Lied. Elfen Lied is beautiful and sad and well acted and well paced. Hentai is sloppy with terrible voice acting and awkward drawings.

    By the way, I love Lilium. =)

  • @TheAmatuerArtist I know right? Hentai is too vulgar (yes i said vulgar not morbid). there is no way this is hentai....

  • @TheAmatuerArtist Also, hentai is porn. Elfen Lied is anything BUT porn.

  • @Tiduspeco or a kids show

  • @TheAmatuerArtist What you meant is Hentai is porn. Elfen Lied is a murder scene with no sex and a depressing story. But it's an awesome story line and an epic thing to be depressed over o_o

  • @TheAmatuerArtist so true lmao

  • @TheAmatuerArtist its one of the best animes of al time, ranked first and second on top anime websites!

  • @legauchefrappe

    =O really? I'm happy ^^

  • I remember how I found out about this anime. I watched this Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy video (tribute to the Wrath of the Spider Queen movie) and it had this song on it. I thought it was a pretty song so I seached "Lilium" and found a picture of Lucy.

  • only if there was a love button!!!!

  • Hi, very nice tune ;) and the song :P but I have a question for you, maybe someone knows where you can buy a music box from the anime with real sound! former grateful for any information ;)

    Ver,Poland

    Witam bardzo ładna melodia ;) i piosenka :P ale mam pytanie do was wie może ktoś gdzie można kupić pozytywkę z tego anime z prawdziwym dźwiękiem ! byłym wdzięczny za każdą informacje ;)

  • wats the song at :05

  • I'm so gonna buy the series off ebay

  • When i listen this song it's like I get lost in time and only i exist in the world.

    Elfen Lied 4ever!!!

    In my country (Portugal) the tv only shows sh*t animes so when i watched this i stayed amazed.

  • 8 personas que tienen una conexion a internet lenta y estan enojados porque no pueden ver el video

    8 people who have a internet conexion slow and they are angry because they can not see the video

  • i have to say tho the manga ending made me cry

  • this song is wonderful... amazing...makes your soul weep with joy and sadness at the same time

  • Das hort Sich bei 3.44 iwie schön an.Aber Das ist weiblich Maut Lied

  • Best Anime. 

  • no matter what people say, elfenlied has one of most beautifull stories i have ever seen also it expresses very well how humans think of themselfs as some kind kind of "creator" but at the same time it shows us that humans CAN coexist with something new, something that is different from normal humans

  • The problem for me is its a naked 9 year old massacering everyone wich makes this anime hard to watch. Emphisis on naked 9 year old.

  • @777WaterWolf There's nothing wrong with being naked. People weren't born with clothes, you know.

  • @ArtemisAstraea Well true but what i mean is shes nie years old or somthing. Thats a little creepy to look at a nine year old girl naked.

  • @777WaterWolf So?? It's not like nudity is all that bad. When you were born, you were naked. When humans make babies, they're naked. Nudity is part of life C:

  • @TheCreativeDreamer Kudos to that :D

  • @raerae94 YAY!! ^^

  • @TheCreativeDreamer Dam right you are

  • @TheCreativeDreamer Agreed. I think being nude is more 'pure' if you know what I mean.

  • @TheCreativeDreamer And besides, most of Lucy's nude scenes had a legit reason behind them. She had to be kept nude seeing how she's capable of using anything and everything as a weapon.

  • This song is so hypnotic... I just can't stop listening to it...

  • I remember when I first found out about Elfen Lied. I was listening to the song "Monster" by Meg and Dia and in the related videos it said "Monster-Elfen Lied" with a picture of a cute anime girl. So I clicked on it and read the description, which warned me that it was very gory...then I saw the amv and it had some exploding person with their guts and bones going everywhere...(which I now know was Saito) I'm not really sure why I decided to watch this, but I'm so glad!

  • this song........really relax me ー◡ー

  • I thought those were cat ears at first, I later found out that they are 'horns'

    But, the Diclonius has such sad lives, I bet if they were at least treated like every other human they'd be nicer and wouldn't kill, gawd it's like racism towards Diclonius

  • I've been looking for this version forever! Thank you very much! <3

  • Would someone explain to me why latin is no longer used?

  • @N1ckvan1oon because everyone who originally spoke Latin basically created other languages. Which is why if you read any Latin, you can tell or at least connect with the words to our English language. Other languages became used more frequently so Latin just died down. I really, really wish it hadn't though, it's so beautiful.

  • @steedyboyy I feel the same way... It's so calming to listen to.

  • i love this song in LATIN dead leangue

  • Such a beautiful song.... I wish I could compose something like this someday!

  • when i found out this was on ebay , i got it in like a seconde, i love elfen lied so much ^__^

  • there's a dvd! OxO *searches the deepest corners of ebay at lightning speed*

  • let it spray blood everywhere thats the funny part of the anime some crazy chick with vectors choping people in half she reminds of dokuro-chan but dokuro chan laughs when she breaks your bones CLUB TO DEATH DOKURO-CHAN ^^

  • i hate when ppl call the horns for cat-ears even if they like like cat-ears

  • @ Iroha75

    Do you have the part starting from 2:15 without the other versions in a file???

  • aww i want the DVD where can i get the DVD?

  • Ebay

  • well i guess that was obvious :P

  • 2:16 - 3:32 <3

  • @LunarElements Kinda reminds you that... Lucy still was looking for happiness, and sometimes she found it, but it had to be taken away in front of her eyes every time... God im sentimental...

  • ay ay como deve de ser XD ke salgas españoles a la luzzzzzzzzzzzzzz XD

  • ningun español por dios XD

  • ¡Aqui hay uno!

    Es genial esta serie

  • Is there coming a season 2?

    people's are saying yes and no so..

  • no there isn't

  • if so u can expect that they would mainly first make another manga and if so, maybe a second anime season like 1 or 2 years later.

  • No there was never any plan to make an second seasion of the anime. I suggest reading the manga :)

  • I wish there was a second seaspon though, because in the story the anime ends in like chapter 80 something of the manga :<

  • OVA,There's an OVA

  • wow talk about youtube drama

  • Did you get all these songs from Japanese DVD or English DVD?

  • I WANT THE FLIPPIN' MP3 TO THIS. ):

    If anyone has, may you share?

  • Just download it using some type of youtube converter x]

  • í watched this anime and i so loved it

    with the killing i was like :D

    but the dog scene that was so T.T *sigh* too bad the dog died... i loved that dog

  • yeah i actually enyoed seeing lucy killing the kids after they killed the dog (and oh i dont give a fuck if you dumb me down)

  • @Templarofsteel18 Hey I did too. lol

  • @Templarofsteel18 i actually did too the brats deserved it sure

  • they deserved it indeed

  • Beutiful song :3

  • beautiful song. it is a song to DIE for (sorry)X3  its a song of heartbreak and sadness but also a song of rebirth and dignity X3 poetic ain't it X3

  • Lucy is freakin' awesome.

    She's my faourite anime character

  • Huh, when the saints sing it sounds like they say "Aqua Sancta" at first, which means "holy water", and then it sounds like they actually say "O quam sancta.

    (I don't think it's their accent, because they say it right later)

    Don't mind me, I just found that interesting.

  • I LOVE Elfen Lied.

    I LOVE Lucy.

  • super cool mah e super oameni buni oare cn acnta??

  • das ist einfach genial!!!

  • asombroso esta genial me encanta

  • the song made me cry more then the series 0_o

  • YEAH. I remember the way I found out about this anime I watched an amv, and I was CLUELESS about the whole plot.

    and Im like...wtf? Neko-girls blowing shit up with there minds?

    Then LATER. Im like "Oh shit, I was wrong. There not neko-girls. There angry blood thirsty pink haired girls with cat shaped horns ripping people apart with there invisible arms called vectors"

    Never the less, I loved it <3

  • @raerae94 thats how i found out tooooo =D

  • @raerae94

    What is Elfen Lied about?

  • @kalarr1389

    It's about a mutant species of humans called Diclonius that have Telekinetic abilities, which they kill people with. Lots and lots of blood, so you might want to refrain from watching if you're squeamish XD

  • @N1ckvan1oon

    Not telekinetic. The Diclonius use Vectors (invisible hands). Usually they only have 4, but there is one who has 26. (i believe it was 26...)

  • @Kikreth I've read from a few sources they are indeed telekinetic...

    & Mariko is the one with 26 vectors l3

  • @raerae94 actually their race wasnt meant for violence though, they were meant to replace humans through the virus that all of them had (obviously except lucy), it was only because the scientists experimented on them and tortured them while the subjects begged for mercy was the reason they went psycopathic/sociopathic

  • i love lucy

  • in the beginning it was horrible to here this musik biut now.......its so wonderfull

  • music*

  • When I first found out about it, I saw the horns and thought they were ears and said, "Hey I like neko-girls, this looks interesting."

  • The manga is better but the anime is good for two things, we always wanted to see the vectors animated...and lucy ...

    This song rules!!!

  • agreed the story is told much better in the manga but the anime telling has its good parts.

  • lol all the version that exists of lilium

  • Elfen Lied was created as a Manga.. Please make sure you read it before you watch the Anime...

    Manga has much more details and furthers the story...

  • I know, I stupidly watched the anime first... BIG MISTAKE...... though I think a bigger mistake would have been the other way around.... now I'm just confusing myself...

  • aren't they horns and not ears?

  • Da trueth!

  • yea they're horns

  • i thought so XD everyone i know keeps saying they are ears

  • they are horns, yes.

  • i finished the series and i felt soo sad becuz it was so short i cried the first time I saw Mariko's death i wish i had the manga :( the anime teaches you so much

    about even though there is so much pain in life there is still beautiful things in life :)

  • I wish I could buy the box set of this anime...but unfortunetly, there's no way my parents will ever let me own this series.

  • me too : ( T.T

  • i love this anime just 3 more years and yay im 18 but i wish i can have it now T_T

  • order it online and don't let your parents find out what the anime is about

  • I have the same problem, and it doesn't help that I keep seeing the DVDs at stores Dx

  • best anime ever!this is the only thing i saw,that deservs tears...(titanic eat your heart out)...but still i can't figure out what's worst...the ending or the fact that the anime was very short...:((

  • I wish i could watch the series but ever since i saw that episode when those little boys killed that puppy I just couldn't stomach it anymore. DX

  • Ya for real, pissed me off... I'm glad she killed em tho. i would have as well. I have no problem admitting it. People who harm animals for their own amusement deserve to die themselves.

  • ...and the opening scene was ok?

  • i like the series, the puppy scene just made me sick okay? :o I have no problem watching violence but when it comes to an innocent puppy. Well i draw the line there.

  • same here, it just ... shocked me.

  • Me too, when killing people I was like (o.o) meh ok

    At the puppy scene I was like (O_o) OMFG!

  • i know, but i would have done the same thing, i mean, the puppy was the only 'close' thing to her, i would have fucking ripped all their heard off, even the little girl how 'accidentally' told them, pttf.

  • people>puppies...intelligence and personality determines the value of a creature...some of the people that were killed were innocent but it was still okay to kill them because they would hate if they had the chance, but some of the people that died were worth so much because of their personality, like Mariko's father

  • The value of life in people's eye can vary just as much as their fingerprint. For Lucy, in her upside down world who knows how she calculated the value of life. But it certainly wasn't Intelligence and Personality in her eyes.

  • she wanted to be loved and liked as a person...she would judge life based on ability to see the big things instead of focusing on petty things, which is why she fell in love in the first place

  • Comment removed

  • Not all emotions and feelings are equal. And death is a part of life. It's all about Will to Power <3

  • Comment removed

  • if violence is necessary to maintain reality and order, then it is not wrong...and being strong enough to do the correct thing in a situation where you may have to die or suffer doesn't require a conscious understanding of what you're doing...it's when you fully understand the risks you're taking that you are really brave...fools cannot be brave, those who fully understand what they are fighting for and are still willing to die are the brave ones...people and emotions are not equal

  • Comment removed

  • if you don't understand what you are and what is around you, can you really claim to be alive?...also, almost no one is innocent when it comes to having an unrealistic worldview and being too selfish to adjust their views to reality...essentially everyone is guilty of mistakes or lies...how you react and grow as a result of realizing your own wrongs determines your virtuousness

  • Comment removed

  • sure reality can be proven...if you understand how things really work, then it is possible to acquire a great deal of power because you can see opportunities...and there is something called intuition when dealing with other people, the universe is not purely material...and respect must be earned, giving it freely just cheapens what actual respect really means

  • Comment removed

  • depends on the situation :) life, death, and the nature of life and whether or not you deserve to live, is a very serious topic...basically, when speaking of something so important, you cannot place consequences into an abstract framework, but must think in terms of what is true and what does not hold up to the scrutiny of reality...you're taking this very hard, and i doubt that you really understand what it is that i am saying, and probably never will...go read some Nietzsche please <3

  • You seem to believe that the right to live is based on very careful and serious judgments that are unique to each situation. (Forgive me if I misunderstood.) On the other hand, I believe that the right to live cannot be judged at all, under any circumstances.

    No, we would probably not end up coming to an agreement if we kept debating. But that's alright. Just don't treat your opinion like absolute fact, that's all I ask. Leave a little room for other people's opinions-- they are valid too.

  • Two things;

    1: If you poeple can't tolerate something being killed, either look away, or do something about it. Bitching and playing "Poor Me" don't get you very far.

    2: The "Comments" area is meant for "Comments". If you want a debate, go to the forums, or start a blog.

    If I sound like an ass, that's because I'm being one! Not everyone looking through the comments wants to hear your life story and/or view of the world.

    Too much is too much, and what this debate involves is too much.

  • Forgive me if it bothers you. I've removed my comments now.

    I don't go looking for debates and I'm not trying to play "poor me"... it just makes me sad when I see people so ready and willing to kill, that's all. But you're right, that debate went too far, and I regret that I didn't end it sooner.

  • yay for being an ass <3

    Elfen Lied ftw <3

  • @Whiteheart1204

    well finally someone smart on youtube for a change, YOU my friend are going places.

  • @Whiteheart1204 Someone, smart...?! On YOUTUBE?! Oh my gosh... Can I have your autograph?? :O

  • @okamifox16 oh god me too....poor puppy :( those kids that killed him/her deserved to be killed >:D

  • @2strange4urowngood I believe it was Friedrich Nietzsche who said "Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one."
